He's going to need more than good cardio.

Yeah, and that's why Big Nog's gonna win. I'd just like to see Mir have a good showing, you know? |

How I see it, my unbiased analysis
Frank Mir
pros - excellent takedowns and submissions, very fast
cons - poor stand-up and no work-ethic whatsoever, he sometimes rushes into trouble
Rodrigo Nogueira
Pros - World-class grappler, great striker, submission machine
Cons - battle-damaged and quite slow, not explosive at all
Prediction - a slow fight, Nogueira will get an eventual TKO after Mir foolishly exhausts himself, again.

Not too long ago. Remember UFC 87, Maia vs MacDonald?

Nog is going to wreck Mir. Everyplace Mir is good at, Nog has an advantage. Good luck brother!  |

Mir has a chance to get a sub, but I also have just as much chance to be stopped by a beautiful woman in a lambo on my way home who pleasures me sexually till I am next to dead and also gives me $1 Million dollars and the lambo for being the best she ever had.
So I think Nog takes this, oh but do I hope Mir wins so I have a chance....
